    Made me smile.
    We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
    It won't be visible through the air
    And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973

    Damn! That Tanglewood clip is GREAT! Excellent audio, too! I love the sound from that Hohner electric piano! I always thought Lamm used a Fender Rhodes. The horn arrangements are fantastic, too! Who did them? Pankow?

    So much instrumentation to pay attention to that it's easy to overlook Danny Seraphine on drums. He's tearing it up on that small kit, just like another jazzy player of the era with a small kit, Ian Paice of Deep Purple. These guys did so much with so little hardware.

    those guys were very special

    what a band!
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    That's a good little dance combo, as my grandma would say.

    Paice has always been one of my favorite drummers as well. And his cymbals always sounded perfect. Don't know if it was the selection or the recording techniques, but man, did they sound great.

    I was 9-10 when the Edgar Winter song "Frankenstein" was a big hit circa 1973 (even on AM radio!) I'll never forget how much a buddy of mine and I just loved it, but I'll never forget his older brother -- who I think was in high school -- thought it was terribly pedestrian compared to REAL music: Chicago. Clearly even back then I was much more interested in prog rock instrumental music versus what I came to think of as very American pop-with-horns music. Looking back on it now I have a much greater appreciation for Chicago (especially Kath and the horn players), but growing up with all the soft hits of the 70s did their reputation no good with me.
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    I was the same way- in the 70s I always thought they were, you know, OK... I liked the radio hits fine but never thought they were all that. Someone made me listen to the albums and my mind was blown.

    A Triple p/u SG Custom. I think the guy in Fallon's band,The Roots plays one just like it. Sorry, I don't know his name right now,but that guitar is beautiful.

    Terry is using one pedal, a wah-wah. Jimi's fave player was Terry and how many pedals did Jimi use on stage?
